Préparation
 

  1. Gather all ingredients and measure them out for easier preparation.
  2. Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, mix crushed graham crackers and powdered sugar together.
  4. Add drained pineapple and shredded coconut to the dry mixture. Stir until combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly throughout the mixture.
  6. Roll mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Refrigerate the balls for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up.
  8. Optional: Roll chilled balls in extra shredded coconut for a festive coating before serving.
  9. Serve chilled and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes et conservation

Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent the mixture from becoming too wet. For a fun variation, dip the balls in melted chocolate before chilling. You can also add a hint of vanilla or cinnamon for extra flavor. These can be made ahead and stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
